i2c-i801 retries on lost arbitration (resent: no gpg)
Soory, forgot to turn-off gpg.
Both i2c spec and ICH7 datasheet requires to restart transaction in case of lost arbitration.
"No information is lost during the arbitration process. A master that loses the arbitration can generate clock pulses until the end of the byte in which it loses the arbitration and must restart its transaction when the bus is idle."
Please see the following patch. Is it correct?

gpg is fine.

Both i2c spec and ICH7 datasheet requires to restart transaction in case of lost arbitration.
"No information is lost during the arbitration process. A master that loses the arbitration can generate clock pulses until the end of the byte in which it loses the arbitration and must restart its transaction when the bus is idle."

No, it's not. As you wrote above, this is not specific to the Intel ICH but a general I2C issue. As such it must be handled in i2c-core and not by individual drivers. And as a matter of fact, it is already handled. Look at functions i2c_transfer and i2c_smbus_xfer in i2c-core.c, see the comments "Retry automatically on arbitration loss", the code is already there. It's just a matter of bus drivers properly setting adapter->retries (which i2c-i801.c does already.)
So I don't know which kernel you're using, but with the latest upstream kernel, things should work just fine already.
